Well, I'd prefer oprofile if I could get it working. It's a system wide profiler for Linux. It's kernel based which allows everything to be profiled without having the profile code compiled in. It uses the x86 performance counter registers. A standard linux profiler is gprof. As for windows, I suppose visual studios would suffice wouldn't it?(since you've mentioned you're using visual c).
btw, a sequencer is a midi editor/creator. You can select instruments and everything else you'd think an editor would do so if you can't find a dos midi sequencer that works, you could create the test case midi files in a windows sequencer and then play them back with whatever method you were using before.
